1
You will hear part of an interview with a boy called Simon,
2
who is helping to protect the environment.
3
Simon, tell us about yourself.
4
Well, like lots of other kids my age,
5
I've grown up taking my boat onto the rivers in this area.
6
One of my favorite rivers is the River Stanton,
7
which is fast with excellent white water,
8
so things can get pretty dangerous.
9
But it's exciting, and I'm experienced.
10
Now, it was while you were on the River Stanton that you noticed something was wrong.
11
Yeah.
12
I always wondered why the water made my eyes burn if it got on my face,
13
and why it was a strange orange color,
14
especially when the water was running low.
15
So you decided to find out more?
16
Yeah.
17
I asked other people using the river,
18
and I visited a few websites and found out
19
that the river was orange because of pollution from the old mines in the area.
20
There was a lot of mining for coal done in this part of the country.
21
I knew that from my history class at school,
22
but what I didn't know was that pollution was coming from those old mine works and escaping into the rivers.
23
Then you did a qualification, didn't you?
24
Yes.
25
I found out about an organization called the Friends of the River Stanton.
26
They told me they did a special course where I could learn how to test the river water to see
27
if it was healthy or not.
28
So that's what I did.
29
And I got really interested in the subject.
30
In fact, you got so interested that you actually started to look for an answer to the pollution problem.
31
Hmm.
32
I learned as much as I could about the chemistry behind the pollution.
33
I can't really explain all the detail,
34
but basically, if you add something called limestone to the river,
35
it can improve the chemistry.
36
Hmm.
37
That means that the plants and fish which had died,
38
because of all the mining companies that used to be in the area,
39
could live in the river again.
40
So that made me really happy.
41
Questions 5 to 8.
42
You will hear part of a radio programme in which a woman called Sylvia Short is interviewed about her job.
43
Good morning, and today we're continuing with our series on careers for young people.
44
In the studio today we have Sylvia Short,
45
who works for a company that produces guidebooks for serious travellers.
46
Now, Sylvia, I believe you left Essex University with a degree in German and Spanish.
47
Tell us something about how you got your job.
48
Erm, my main interest has always been travel.
49
I spent every holiday when I was a student travelling abroad.
50
After I left university I spent a year as an English teacher in Spain,
51
followed by six months as a tour guide in Italy.
52
When I returned to England I applied for loads of jobs advertised in the newspaper,
53
but didn't have any success.
54
So I decided to make a list of every company I wanted to work for and write to them directly,
55
rather than wait for them to advertise.
56
Good advice to anyone, I think.
57
Yes, and I was very lucky as the company World Travel needed an assistant in their office in London.
58
I dealt mainly with the post at first just to get used to their way of doing things.
59
Obviously I was qualified to do more but I wasn't in a hurry.
60
Then the manager's assistant announced she was leaving after only being with the company for 12 months
61
and I applied for her job.
62
The company encourages their staff to apply for higher level jobs and I was promoted four months after joining.
63
Good for you.
64
What does the job involve?
65
Well, I've expanded the role since I took it on.
66
I'm in charge of all the advertising in the press whenever we publish a new guidebook,
67
and I sometimes give talks to people in the travel industry.
68
Do you find the work interesting?
69
Oh yes, it's never boring.
70
We often get odd requests from journalists.
71
They assume we know everything there is to know about travel,
72
so they often ring us to see if we can help them.
73
rang to say he was writing an article and wanted to know whether there were any female football teams in China.
74
Questions 9 through 12.
75
You will hear the Director of Studies in an English Language Centre and a student representative talking about their self-access centre.
76
Thank you.
77
Now, what about the computers?
78
I think it might be a good idea to install some new models.
79
They would take up a lot less room and so that would increase the workspace for textbooks and so on.
80
That would be great.
81
It is a bit cramped in there at times.
82
What about other resources?
83
Do you have a list of things that the students would like to see improved?
84
Yes.
85
One of the comments that students frequently make is
86
that they find it difficult to find materials that are appropriate for their level,
87
especially reading resources, so I think we need to label them more clearly.
88
Well, that's easy enough.
89
We can get that organised very quickly. In fact,
90
I think we should review all of the study resources as some of them are looking a bit out of date.
91
Definitely.
92
The CD section especially needs to be more current.
93
I think we should get some of the ones that go with our latest course books and also make multiple copies.
94
Good.
95
Now, I was also thinking about some different materials that we haven't got in there at all.
96
What do you think of the idea of introducing some workbooks?
97
If we break them up into separate pages and laminate them,
98
they'd be a great resource.
99
The students could study the main course book in class and then do follow-up practice in self-access centre.
100
That sounds good.
101
Okay, now finally we need to think about how the room is used.
102
I'll have to talk to the teachers
103
and make sure we can all reach some agreement on a timetable to supervise the centre after class.
104
But we also need to think about security too,
105
especially if we're going to invest in some new equipment.
106
Um, what about putting in an alarm?
107
Good idea.
108
The other thing I'd like to do is talk to our technicians
109
and see whether we could somehow limit the access to email I really don't want to see that resource misused
110
This is the end of part two.
111
Thank you.

背景与环境
在本视频中，我们听到了关于Simon的采访，他是一位积极参与环保活动的年轻人。Simon和许多同龄人一样，从小就喜欢在当地河流上划船。他对Stanton河有着特殊的情感，因为虽然那里的水流急、情况危险，但正是这样的环境让他感到兴奋与挑战。在一次划船过程中，Simon注意到河水的颜色发生了变化，变得奇怪的橙色，并且常常让他的眼睛感到刺痛。出于好奇，他决定深入了解这个问题，并最终了解到这条河流受到了当地矿井污染的影响。这段经历不仅激发了他的环保意识，也促使他参加专门的课程以学习如何检测水质，帮助恢复河流的生态平衡。
日常交流的五个常用短语
- “我总是很好奇” (I always wondered)
- “我在学校的历史课上学到” (I knew that from my history class at school)
- “我参加了一个特别的课程” (I did a special course)
- “这让我非常高兴” (That made me really happy)
- “你能告诉我更多吗？” (Can you tell me more?)
掌握这些短语能够帮助你在和他人交流时更加流利，特别是在讨论感兴趣的话题时。
逐步跟读指南
要提高你的英语口语技能，特别是在听力理解和发音方面，可以采取以下步骤进行“英语影子跟读”练习：
- 选择合适的段落：从视频中挑选你感兴趣的段落，最好是Simon谈论他对环境保护的看法。
- 初步理解内容：先听一遍，确保你理解对话的基本内容和主题。
- 分段跟读：将选段分成小部分，逐句播放并模仿发音。在这个过程中，注意Simon的语调和情感表达。
- 重复听及模仿：使用“shadowspeaks”技巧，反复听并跟读，尽量做到与原声一致。这种方法可以有效提高你的英语发音。
- 自我评估：录下你自己的声音，然后与原声做对比，看看自己的发音和语调还有哪些需要改进的地方。
通过这样的“英语影子跟读”练习，能显著提升你的英语口语能力与自信心。
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
